MONICA

I`m not a Halloween fan, but I love Autumn. It is my favorite color palette. For my make I used this beautiful silhouette "Tending The Vines" design by Floppy Latte and provided by our generous sponsor.

Doris

This is my idea for this challenge, I made a frame, because I love it. I used the lovely and cute image Edward & Bella, provided for our sponsor Stitchy Bear.

Gabriela

I made a Halloween treat box using the lovely witch Hang Tite.

Cazzy

Sorry I'm late again, I was away with family for the weekend and busy last week so I didn't get my card made in time.
I used two of IkeSart images merged to make my dungeon scene: Castle Room and Skelly Gossip. To this I added some bat sequins and some Tim Holtz spiders and webs and the sentiment.

Challenge #2 Through the Quirky Window

 To see who won the last challenge click HERE or scroll down to the next post.

Welcome back everyone, although I am posting this challenge it is actually set by Doris who is away in the USA at CHA right now, lucky Doris.

The challenge is not about windows in your house, it is about apertures in cards and any other projects, or holes! You can have a big aperture, or small, or many small apertures, as long as we can see through those holes. They can be apertures in a layer of your card or project, so we can see something underneath, a different colour perhaps, a pattern or words or an embellishment.

The sponsor for this challenge is:

 The Cutting Cafe 

who is generously providing all three prizes, and provided the team with some great cutting files to use.

Prizes:

1st prize 3 sets of winner's choice

2nd prize 2 sets of winner's choice

3rd prize 1 set of winner's choice

You get a lot in any of the file sets at the Cutting Cafe, either cutting files or printables so you can see these are great prizes.

Now for some inspiration from our guest designers:

2 month Guest Designer 


LORI

A simple and quick card for the man in your life. Made by hand cutting the squares (using the PDF version of the cutting files for people who don't have cutting machines) from the Cutting Cafe template and adding punched hearts so they show from the outside and the inside.

Here is some more inspiration from the team:

Cazzy

I used Word Bubble Left from the Everyday Shapes Window Card Tops file which I cut by hand, with a sentiment from the Birthday Fun file under the window, and a Monster from the Bunch of Monsters file, haha I see more monsters on Monica's card!

Doris

MYRIAM

For my tag I used Window Cards by our sponsor The Cutting Cafe!!

MONICA

For this week project, I chose one of the Everyday Shapes Window Card Tops provided by our sponsor, with a lot of circles. Those circles were the perfect windows to show this adorable monsters from "Bunch of Monsters" a set of digital stamps also provided by The Cutting Cafe. The lovely sentiment is part of the same monsters set, I traced it and cut it in vinyl.

KEMLY

Hi every body! In this week I made a card, I used EVERYDAY SHAPES WINDOW CARD TOPS. I love the butterflies in the cutting file.

I took the silhouette of butterflies to decored inside of the card. Also, I used Distress Ink, gel pen and a small fabric flower in this project. =)

Myriam

There is a children´s book called "Narcisa, la gata coqueta". It's about a beautiful cat that always is thinking about her beauty and doesn't take care of real important issues.I did a corner bookmark and I used "PurrtyGirl" stamp from Paper Pretties.

DESIGN TEAM

Cazzy

I think you can work out what my card is about, the song With a little help from my friends by the legendary John Lennon. The image is Pierre and Ernest from Paper Pretties, and as soon as I saw the quote that came with the image, it comes with a few sentiments, I knew I had to use this image and sentiment for my thanks card.

Monica

This week's reminder project is inspired by a 70´s Australian TV series "Skippy The Bush Kangaroo".

When I was a little girl I loved that TV series and always made me want a kangaroo for a pet.

This lovely kangaroo is "Kanku" provided by our generous sponsor Paper Pretties.

It is colored with a mix of Spectrum Noir pens and Prismacolor pencils.

Kemly

Hi people!! This week my project is inspired by the movie  "It's a wonderful life", (1946).

 

To my project I used Astra, the beautiful digi from our generous sponsor Paper Pretties. I remember  to Clarence angel, George Bailey friend's. Also I make a Vintage Lantern to hope for better times. My project is coloured with acuarelable pencils. 

Lyn 

Will be along later too.

Doris

Hello everyone. This week I worked on a card inspired in the amazing The Little Drummer Boy. I used the Drummer Boy Digi from our amazing sponsor:  Limited Runs . I also used some cutting files and, as always I used Spectrum Noir for painting this cute digi. I wish you will have an amazing week!!
